A compilation error would be thrown if either 
"dc/dcn315/dcn315_resource.h" or "dc/dcn316/dcn316_resource.h" were 
included in the files where "dcn3_15_soc" and "dcn3_16_soc" are 
initialized. Since they are not included, the wrong variable type error 
is not shown.
To solve the sparse warning in the second patch of this series, those 
variables need to be declared first, but they are already declared, 
we're only missing the headers. If I only add the headers, then those 
variables will be seen, and I get the expected incompatible variables 
types error. So, fixing the types here is a preliminary work for the 
next patch.
